what rackets to demo?

[BagelMe]

Just as a little background info I use a Blx 6.1 tour and n90's. However, recently I've developed shoulder problems and it's hard to use them(sigh). Hopefully, in time I will get back to them.

I'm looking for a racket that is stable, has good control, a little lighter than the blx90, mid-mid plus head size, and more maneuverable.

The strongest parts of my game is my serve, groundstrokes and footwork. I would like a racket that compliments the first 2. I hit with moderate topspin on my one handed backhand with a extreme eastern grip. On my forehand, I use a SW grip and I can hit with lots of topspin or hit flatten it out at will.

Can you guys suggest some rackets?
I was thinking of the Prestige mid+ b/c of all of the good review on it. Also, Pure storm Tour LMTD GT looks good too. Thanks for your consideration and replies in advance!

If you've never tried a Yonex mid, you might find that they perform more like a mid-plus in comparison to your Wilsons. Our pal "ericsson" already made some good suggestions, too. If you like playing mids, I'd recommend that you look at alternatives in that range of hoop size before concentrating on larger ones.

I don't like yonex rackets. I played with some yellow one and it felt like crap. Not to mention it looks like a frying pan.

Dunlop 4d 200, 300 tour or if you enjoy more power the 500 tour.

300 Tour.
I play with 200's, around 12oz.
Since you want lighter weight, go 300.

If you are looking at the Youtek Prestige MP...I switched from the Youtek Radical MP to the Youtek Prestige MP. I love the Prestige, it is more stable than the Radical in stock. However, in your case, if you are okay with lighter weight, look at the Youtek Radical MP. It is more flexible and has more power, so that you wouldn't have to work as hard and it will be easier on your shoulder... and you could always add lead.

At the very least, I would also reduce the tension and use a soft string.

I moved from the kps 88 to a Vantage 95 and found it easier on the arm, just as stable, easier to hit groundstrokes esp forehand, serves and volleys just as well.
